47. All of the products obtained using catalyst 5d show negative specific optical rotations. We have also been able to determine the absolute configurations of 6l and a dioxolane acetal derived from MVK adduct 6h by X-ray crystallography (see ESI†).

53. The absolute and relative stereochemistry shown is based on an X-ray determination of 11d (see ESI†). The absolute stereochemistry is consistent with that of Michael adducts from enones in Table 2.
